Curing The Sedentary Blues

Some rain last night into this morning made me wonder if the trail would be a little more wet than I would like for a run... so I laced up the hiking boots and decided to take it a little easier this evening.

I'm not exactly thrilled with the title of this album... but then again the word Pornography doesn't strictly mean something sexually explicit...

"Lurid or sensational material."
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.

Still it's an ugly word but that other definition makes listening to this okay -- afterall, it is sensational material! Well, except for the live stuff which, while musically good, the quality is that of a fan's Audience recording, and for the time, that bites. Sad but true. But the rest of the songs are just awesome. Interestingly, the 13 minute Airlock: The Soundtrack, at times, is extremely similar to a Space from the Dead. One could almost, at times, not even tell the difference! But next time I listen to this I'll remember to not include the live stuff, bunch together Airlock plus the instrumentals. The primary focus should be on the original album. That alone is such well made early Cure. I've always loved this band. Definitely, in all that I listen to, I need more Cure!!!!
